<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi all:<br>I was merely thinking how we could mitigate the issue in threading.<br>We could argue the current thread implementation issues on NT are worrisome but, the system performance is more important and I guess a release is waiting for all platforms stability.<br>I think we could make a work around to put some tests on the GUI subsystem on the test suite, using the sort of capability that Zeus Mentor Snapshot has to capture the screen shot and compare with others results with test already on:<br>m3-ui/ui-tests<br>m3-ui/ui/test<br>Just getting some sort of difference between NT GUI subsystem and X implementation would allows to see where we can be missing something.<br>Also integration on X implementation of Critical mass GUI upgrade would be highly appreciated: cm3-cvs/m3-ui/cmvbt<br>Also I remember I saw the pm3 NT386GNU target implementation doing
basic stuff with DEC SRC NT GUI, but another doing advanced stuff with Mentor and others I think the code you can get it by the package/src/ directories (http://www.1o0.de/wi-links/modula3/), but I´m not aware if it used the x/cygwin, I don´t think so, but even if so, would be an advance to have mentor running animation stuff until some point we could get better performance in the current NT GUI implementation (could be something in the garbage collection, Tony, as NT has its own garbage collector, has it been maintained after CM3 developed the new collector?)<br>Another shot maybe for next release (7.0) is trying to develop tests on obliq framework and integration with pm3 documentation system, which seemed to be good.<br>About Unix interfaces, Im thinking how to reuse the SPIN digital Unix interface so we can have a sort of a virtualization tool integrated in CM3 as a tool for deploying Unix apps on NT and getting some layers of Modula-3
runtime code based on a standarized Unix interface Sphinx.i3 (path in spin sources tree user/sphinx/src/IX86_SPIN/) something we could call "DECUnix.i3", we could also get some parts of the system running directly over Modula-3 runtime code rather than on bare Unix interfaces getting a more standarized behaviuor and maybe we could gain some knowledge to do experiments for system developers and users<br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br>--- El <b>mié, 14/10/09, Jay K <i><jay.krell@cornell.edu></i></b> escribió:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>De: Jay K <jay.krell@cornell.edu><br>Asunto: Re: [M3devel] Status of threads for RC4?<br>Para: "Olaf" <wagner@elegosoft.com>, "Tony" <hosking@cs.purdue.edu><br>CC: "m3devel" <m3devel@elegosoft.com><br>Fecha: miércoles, 14 octubre, 2009 6:13<br><br><div id="yiv308368331">

I didn't deliberately turn anything off but indeed I can see that some machines are not accessible and some are. I'll look at them later.<br>
